lucie astrid coeur } { i'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake The last time I freaked out I just kept looking down I st-st-stuttered when you asked me what I'm thinking about Felt like I couldn't breathe You asked what's wrong with me My best friend Lesley said "Oh she's just being Miley" The next time we hang out I will redeem myself My heart can't rest till then Woh woh I I can't wait to see you again
lucie flung her pen away from her, annoyed beyond words. she hated maths, school, her sister, even her father, and when they all came together in one big bundle, that made for an even worse mood. there was nothing wrong with lucie's grade at all ; so she was getting a b in maths. big. fucking. deal. she was getting b in french and no one was making a fuss over that.
she'd been warned that her student council membership would be taken away if she carried on like this, to which lucie had scoffed and stalked away from. they wouldn't take her off the student council ; nobody else would be senseless enough to do her job. she wasn't particularly happy about being forced to do prefect duty after hours every monday, wednesday and thursday, and after finding her sister tallie with one of her many 'clients', as she called them, lucie had refused point blank to ever do it again.
snapping the book closed, lucie rolled over onto her back and stared at the sky. she had no idea why she was out in the courtyard at two a.m., but she didn't particularly want to be anywhere else.
school sucks.

Jake was walking back from getting some stuff at the store. He had a late night craving for chocolate and since Ryan had eaten all of his he had to go to the store and get some. Jake knew that he shouldn't be out at this time. If he got caught then he would be kicked off the council. He already knew that he was in trouble for helping Conrad beat up those guards.
Walking through the courtyard he tripped over someone laying on the ground on their back. Looking over at the person he had tripped over he shook his head. "You know you shouldn't be out at this time." He siad with a laugh. "Neither should I though." He said agian

"yeah, well, who's gonna stop me? both council members are busy elsewhere," she said, not even bothering to check whether jake was alright. he'd managed to kick her when he fell over, so her side was starting to gently throb. brilliant.
"jake, make sure you watch where you're going next time? i don't want everyone to be, 'ooh, luce, where'd that bruise come from?'. that's going to take some explaining."
she knew she was being a sarcastic bitch, but right now, she couldn't care less. "what are you doing up anyway?"

He looked at her and titled his head to the side. "What is up with you?" He asked her and shrugged. "I needed chooclate so I walked over to the store and got some." He said to her. "You alright?" He asked and sat down near her. His head hurt a bit from landing on the ground but it didn't seem to matter to her which was odd.
"So umm I umm need to talk to you about somethings by the way." He said to her and sat there crossed legged. "Lucie you sure you ok? They didn't go after you cause of your grades again did they?" He asked

"oh no, what made you think that? i'm only getting a b in two classes but no, they just have to come and tell me i need to get a's if i want to stay here, and i just can't be dealing with it right now," she said, still with a sarcastic tone to her voice.
"how's your head?" she asked, still staring up at the sky and trying to forget what had happened that day. tallie had finally found out that her little sister went to the same school as her - frankly, lucie was surprised that she'd gone so long without being noticed - her father had told her that alix was coming back and wanted that song asap, and then she learned that she might just get booted out of school.
fucking brilliant.

"It hurts." He said with a laugh. "Alright what two classes are you in? I am going to help you and you will not refuse my help." He said. "You know I am good with school so I can help you the best to my ablities." He said with a smile. Then he thought of something and he knew what was bugging her.
"Now I know that your sister is here but listen you got great friends. Me, Ryan and Conrad is back. Well Conrad kind of is in big shit and can't really do anything expect Sundays but that besides the point. And your sister wasn't selected to be president with me. Plus she thinks too highly of herself and doesn't know how to have fun. Come on Lucie cheer up. She may be a popstar but you know she is as dumb as a post and doesn't have your brains."

lucie laughed, finally cracking a smile. "jake, alix isn't my sister," she said, looking over at him. "alix is my cousin. tallie is my sister. the mega slut. but yes, out of my whole family, i am the smart one. and the small one."
she sat up, her black hair loose over her shoulders. how anyone could think that she and alix were sisters was beyond her. alix was a blonde and could actually sing. lucie couldn't sing even if her life depended on it. still, it was nice to have someone think she was a popstar's sister.
she sighed. "do i have to have help? i much prefer arguing with the teachers."

"Right I knew that." He said with a laugh. "Sorry I am a tad tired and yes you do. I don't want you to leave. I don't want to lose my best friend." He said looking at her. "Plus you and I are going to be the best presidents ever to be at this school." He said with a smile. "Plus half the council quit today." He said shaking his head and then grinned. You could tell he had somethin to do with that.
Jake was always complainning that he didn't like the people on council other than Lucie and he wished they would all disappear. So he had done somethings to make that happened? It was for the good of the school.

lucie stopped laughing abruptly. "what?" she asked, frowning and turning to look at jake. "why'd they do that? did you do something? you did, didn't you? i can't fucking believe you. as if i didn't have enough to worry about already."
lucie flopped back down onto the grass and groaned. that meant double prefect duty until they could find other people to replace the ones jake had scared away, more meetings, interviews . . . everything had to be redone.
bugger.

"Wait calm down. I fixed it we already got new people in." He said to her. "You know that group that we orignally wanted in? Well they are in now." Nodding at her he almost grabbed his hand. "I told you I would take care fo everything and now we can actually get shit done." He said to her softly.
Looking at her he tried not to sigh. Why? Because sitting here with her like this reminded him from when they were sitting on the beach that one time. When they were still together and he thought it would last forever. He still hadn't gotten over her even though he was with Roxanne.

lucie rolled her eyes and moved her hand away from jake's. she was now even more annoyed than she had been before she spotted him. even though he insisted that the two were 'best' friends, lucie still felt . . . odd, around him. she wasn't sure what it was.
"You know that group that we orignally wanted in? Well they are in now."
lucie sighed. at least that meant she wouldn't have to waste time interviewing people, but it would probably take twice as long to brief them and tell them what to do, mainly because the group they wanted were juniors and seniors. lucie was still a piddly little sophomore, and a fifteen year old at that.
"i'll have to buy some more eyeliner," she muttered, not entirely aware she'd just spoken out loud.

"They have some on sale at the store. I saw it when I cut through the make up to go get my chocolate." He said opening one of his candy bars and munching on it. "Umm you want some?" He asked her softly. He said and sorted threw his bag. "I got all sort of kinds in here. By the way when do you want to have the next meeting?"
He looked up at her and knew that he shouldn't of reached for her hand. "Sorry about the hand thing. Guess I am still kind of used to it." He said to her softly and hung his head.

shaking her head, lucie reached for her bag. "if i have sugar now i'll never get back to sleep later." pulling her very short eyeliner pencil out, lucie touched up her make up, half listening to jake.
"Sorry about the hand thing. Guess I am still kind of used to it."
choosing to ignore jake's comment, lucie swore as she messed up her make up. she hated that jake managed to make her feel guilty almost everyday that she saw him. she didn't want to feel guilty ; she'd broken up with him because she didn't feel the same way about him as he did about her. maybe it wasn't such a good idea to carry on talking to him and letting him hug her whenever he wanted, even though she'd started hitting him whenever he hugged her.
"uhm," lucie said, still looking in her mirror and trying to concentrate on not poking her eyes out. "friday?"

"Alright that is fine with me." He said to her with a nod. "Then once we are done I can see if Roxanne wants to go to the club with me." He said to her and continued to munch on his chocolate bar. "Yeah I have a new girl now." He said still trying to hide that he still kind of wanted to be with Lucie.
He knew that he shouldn't be in love with Lucie but it wasn't something that he could easily get over. He thought he had treated her right those six months they were together. He thought he had done everything right but she still broke up with him.

"good for you," lucie muttered distractedly, checking her reflection in her little mirror. she still hadn't told jake about adrian . . . or tim, for that matter. she didn't particularly want that to come up in conversation either. a lot of people just plain ignored their ex when it came to breaking up, but lucie was far too nice for her own good.
"i think alix wants tallie and me to go to some gig with her afterwards anyway. which reminds me . . . i have to finish her song." lucie snapped her mirror closed and shoved it in her bag, along with her eyeliner.
she honestly didn't feel jealous at all of jake's having another girlfriend. even though roxie was one of lucie's friends and didn't mind when lucie forgot to speak english - which only happened when lucie got back from a long stay in france - she didn't envy her at all. maybe because she'd never really felt anything between herself and jake . . .
"how long have you been together?" she asked, turning back to jake.

He had watched her the whole time and sort of zoned out. When she asked him how long he been with Roxanne he thought about it. "A week or so." He said to her and nodded at that. "She is really great." He was going to add not you but really great. "She really likes me and we connect." He said wiht a soft smile.
"And well she doesn't mind my video game obession." He said to her and remeber how mad Lucie used to get when he would be on the phone with her and he would be playing video games.

lucie smiled again. she used to hate it when jake was playing video games and attempting to talk to her at the same time, mainly because he couldn't do it. he'd either yell down the phone at the goblins or whatever they were, or seeth down the phone at her, saying he'd just made him lose a life. poor him.
"i like roxie," she said, smiling. "she's great. she doesn't mind when i forget to speak english, or when i have a really strong accent. that only really happens when i come back from france, though, and i end up sounding like thees." lucie made her barely-there accent much more prominent, proving her point. "eet's actually very annoying sometimes, and now that i have done thees, i don't theenk that i'll be able to talk properly again." lucie shut up, trying to get her normal, new york accent back.

He looked at her and smiled. "I always liked your accent. I wish I had one but I got the good old new york one." He said to her and smiled. "Roxie is pretty sweet. She calls me chuckles because last year we were in the pizza place and got hyper. You know how much I start to chuckle when I get hyper." He said shaking his head.
"Oh mom found more of your stuff and shipped it to me. So if you want it back I will bring it friday. She is still going on how I should win you back." He rolled his eyes. Then thinking of something he looked at her. "Lucie they aren't going to like Roxie are they?"

lucie looked away. she knew how uptight the mr. and mrs. mcgrath were, and she knew how much they didn't like people different than themselves. mrs. mcgrath didn't even like lucie when she started going out with jake. lucie had never really liked jake's mother anyway, mainly because she had no idea how to react to a mother, seeing as hers died when she was two, and alix's just didn't bother with them when they were there.
"no, they're not," lucie said, surprised that her accent had managed to go away by itself. "the fact that roxie's completely different to me and different style wise isn't going to help. your mother didn't even like me at first, purely because i was french . . ."
lucie didn't add that jake's mum only started to like her after it came out that lucie was related to alix. she felt awkward and guilty again, and she knew it was because jake had been talking about 'winning her back'.

Jake sighed and nodded. "Well I will deal that at the end of the year. I am not going back home this year and they still think I am going to your place so I have to figure out what to tell them." He said shaking his head. "Sometimes I wish they would really just back off and let me live my life you know." He said to her.
Then thinking of something he looked at her. "I hate to bring up us but I am glad that we only had sex that one time." He said not thinkin that they might of when he was drunk. He never remebered what he did when he was drunk. "I never ment to hurt you"

lucie froze into her spot. that night was one lucie had sworn never to talk about, mainly because jake had forced her to do it and she was well underage. she didn't like to think about it . . . even now she was getting fragmented flashbacks ; knocking on jake's door, the beer cans all over his floor, that were quickly followed by her clothes . . .
lucie stood up quickly, grabbing her bag and walking backwards, away from him. "you promised," she whispered, still trying to get the memories out of her head. "you said you'd never speak about it again . . . dammit jake, you promised!"
lucie was now more scared than she ever had been in her life. she had filed that memory away into a distant part of her mind, and then she'd locked that into a super sealed tight box which no one could access, except for jake, it seemed.
lucie was still backing away from him. why did he have to bring that one night up? he must have known it was one that lucie hated with all her heart and soul . . . she'd bloody forbidden him to talk about it . . . didn't that mean anything to him?

He looked at her confused. "Lucie what you talking about?" He asked looking at her lookin so confused. "The one time we did that I know of you started it." He said to her thinking of a different night than her. It was on their six month anniversary and they were on a plane ride back from wherever he had taken her. She had grabbed him and kissed him. She had ask him to make love to her. Why did she want to forget about that night?
He sat there and sighed. "Listen I am sorry if I said something wrong. Maybe I should just go." He sadi with a sigh and hung his head looking down at his knees. "I am really sorry I don't know what I said at all."
